The RSTRTBLS job is used to restore the TABLES and SCREENS
data sets.  These data sets contain SAS data files, but
unlike other CA MICS SAS data files, they are shared across
all database units.  They are backed up as part of the
normal BACKUP job for the PRIMARY unit database.

The JCL for the RSTRTBLS job is in
prefix.MICS.CNTL(RSTRTBLS).

Some files in the TABLES data set are updated by CA MICS
Accounting and Chargeback monthly processing.  Other files
are updated manually.  All files in the SCREENS data set are
updated manually.  Changes to TABLES or SCREENS made after
the last Database update and backup for the PRIMARY unit
database are not reflected in the backup copy of the TABLES
and SCREENS data sets.  Therefore, TABLES and SCREENS are not
included in the normal RESTORE job.

The RSTRTBLS job restores the TABLES and SCREENS data sets
from the most recent (0) generation TABLES/SCREENS backup
file.  After RSTRTBLS processing completes, you will need to
recreate all changes to the TABLES and SCREENS data sets made
after the backup was taken.

You can restore from an older generation TABLES/SCREENS
backup file modifying the RSTRTBLS JCL to reference an
alternative backup file generation (e.g.,  -3).  DO NOT SAVE
THE MODIFIED RSTRTBLS JCL.

Refer to the CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback User Guide for
additional information on the RSTRTBLS operational job.
